The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Zhi Yao was instantly overcome with embarrassment, not knowing how to react. Although she knew that Xie Qinzhou had completely lost his human consciousness and thoughts, she still couldn't bring herself to face such a gaze. She abruptly pushed Pei Chiyao away.

"Pei Chiyao, I... I was wrong..." Zhi Yao meekly admitted her mistake. "I was just so worried about my mother, you know..."

Pei Chiyao took a deep breath and said, "I see. You were worried about your mother, so you came here by yourself. Ultimately, it's because you don't trust me, isn't it?"

His eyes were filled with disappointment and hurt. Seeing this, Zhi Yao felt a pang in her heart. She didn't want Pei Chiyao to think that way.

She quickly leaned forward and hugged Pei Chiyao's arm, saying, "Please don't be angry. I really do trust you. It's just that I'm pregnant now, and I was afraid you wouldn't let me go because you'd be worried about my health. That's why I thought I should come alone. It's not because I don't trust you..."

Zhi Yao felt she was starting to ramble.

But Pei Chiyao's expression remained cold, devoid of his usual tenderness when looking at Zhi Yao.

Zhi Yao didn't know what to do...

She had never seen Pei Chiyao like this before. In the past, even when he was angry, he would never ignore her.

Nor would he look at her with such a cold expression.

Clearly, this time Zhi Yao had hurt him deeply.

Zhi Yao slowly lowered her hands from Pei Chiyao's arm, when suddenly an idea struck her.

The young woman cried out in pain, "My stomach... it suddenly hurts so much..."

Her brows were tightly knitted, and her expression almost gave Pei Chiyao a fright.

Pei Chiyao quickly turned to look at her, his hands moving to scoop her up. But as soon as he lifted her, he realized the young woman's act was... far too unconvincing.

She buried her head in his chest, occasionally glancing up at him. When she saw him looking, she would pretend to be in pain again.

Pei Chiyao: "..."

He had thought her acting skills had improved, but apparently not...

However, seeing Zhi Yao like this, he found he couldn't stay angry anymore.

From the moment she took the initiative to admit her mistake, all of Pei Chiyao's anger and worry had dissipated.

Zhi Yao's personality was probably more like Ling Jue's – she knew how to be soft, when to be coy, when to be sweet, and when to please. She never bottled things up.

Perhaps realizing her act was a bit too fake, Zhi Yao smiled sheepishly and said, "Honey, I'm sorry. I lied to you again."

She hugged Pei Chiyao's neck and patted her belly. "Darling, please don't be angry anymore. I promise I'll be good from now on. I'll go east if you tell me to, and never west! I won't hide anything from you ever again!"

Pei Chiyao glanced at Zhi Yao and said, "I don't have that much power. I'd be content if you, my little ancestor, would just give me less to worry about."

With these words, Zhi Yao knew he wasn't angry anymore.

The young woman gratefully hugged Pei Chiyao's neck tightly, nuzzling against it. "You're the best, honey! I love you so much!"

Hearing her call him "honey" over and over, Pei Chiyao's heart melted completely.

Looking at the coquettish young woman in his arms, his eyes darkened. "Say it a few more times."

Zhi Yao, being shy, felt embarrassed under his gaze. "Honey, let's... go get our marriage certificate."

These eight words made Pei Chiyao's arms stiffen.

Marriage certificate.

Zhi Yao thought carefully and said, "To be honest, with the current situation, I'm not sure if this drama can even continue filming. Now that He Kaiting is gone, I've sort of avenged Jiang Cheng. Whether he can wake up or not is up to fate now. Moreover, my parents' situation is special, and it's not convenient for me to be in the public eye. If people from the Wolf Tribe or Fox Clan discover my identity and find them, it could lead to more trouble and disaster."

The young woman sighed softly. "It's not that I want to settle down and get married because of these things. It's just... after going through so much, I've realized I really can't live without you."

No matter what she did, there was always someone to back her up. It was an incredibly blissful thing.

Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao deeply, as if trying to engrave her into his heart.

He ruffled the young woman's hair and said, "You don't need to explain. As long as you marry me, as long as you're mine, that's enough."

He was already beyond cure, terminally ill. Zhi Yao was the biggest affliction in his heart, yet he didn't want to treat it.

If he could die together with Zhi Yao, he supposed he would have no regrets in this life.

...

Three days later, Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao went to Ireland to get their marriage certificate.

This was a country full of love. Once married here, divorce was not an option. It promised a lifetime of togetherness, never to part.

While waiting to get their certificate, Zhi Yao unexpectedly became nervous. She touched her flat belly and glanced up at Pei Chiyao, only to see him calmly flipping through a magazine.

The young woman couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and step on Pei Chiyao's foot.

Pei Chiyao didn't even look up at Zhi Yao, just asking in a low voice, "What's upset you now, hmm? My little ancestor?"

His voice trailed off, sounding utterly mesmerizing.

Zhi Yao looked at his perfect profile and couldn't help but swallow. "Honey, if our child is as handsome as you in the future, I'll definitely kiss him 800 times a day."

A mini Pei Chiyao! Goodness, how adorable would that be, calling her "Mommy"! Just thinking about it made Zhi Yao's heart melt.

The young woman could hardly wait for their child to be born.

But...

But she didn't notice at all that as soon as she said this, Pei Chiyao's hand gripping the magazine suddenly tightened.

"You want to kiss him?"

The man's brows furrowed deeply, and the atmosphere around him immediately became sharp, causing passersby to turn and look.

Zhi Yao was also startled by Pei Chiyao's expression. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover Pei Chiyao's mouth, "Why are you so fierce! People will think I kidnapped you to get married."

Pei Chiyao snorted coldly, "No kissing allowed! You can only kiss me!"

This jealous man.

Zhi Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A few days ago, the old doctor her father had invited came to check her pulse again. This time, he clearly sensed the presence of the baby.

The baby is healthy, and it's a boy.

This news excited Zhi Yao beyond measure!

Just thinking about having a mini Pei Chiyao to play with made Zhi Yao so thrilled she could hardly contain herself!

She hadn't noticed at all that the man beside her had been consumed with jealousy for several days now. It wasn't until she just said she wanted to kiss him eight hundred times that Pei Chiyao finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She had never even kissed him eight hundred times!
